SOLIDARITY BUILDING, COVID-19, AND FRONTLINE WORKERS

Written by JYOTI SINHA Posted July 12, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

Democracy is for everybody, not just the rich. So get to the polls!

 

Local elections are far more important than Mass voters seem to think, given the historically low turnouts for most of them in recent decades. Especially during off-year contests like this year’s. So, for starters, I just want to encourage everyone who ...  read more

DigBoston commits to expanding coverage of workers and unions

 

For the past many years, I’ve written an annual Labor Day editorial for whatever publication I’m running at the time. And it’s always a relentlessly depressing exercise. Because there just hasn’t been much good news for working people in decades.
